The Series S doesn’t primarily stream games - it plays them locally. Not sure why you’re ranting about that.

Funny enough, maybe it’s just that I play a bunch of indie games and fewer AAA live service masterpieces, but I’m able to fit well over 10 games just on my unupgraded Series S drive.

I do also own a bunch of games digitally on there - and even if I stop playing Game Pass, I have access to those.
